IX.

Heading up towards his room, he sees a lonely Changkyun sitting on his king-sized bed playing on his phone. Hyungwon stops at the door, leaning on it whilst crossing his arms and ankles. Changkyun feels his aura and notices his presence.

Looking up from his phone, he waves, "Oh, Hyung!"

"What do you want?" Hyungwon pushes off the door, momentum dragging him towards his friend. Changkyun smirks a little before pushing himself off the soft, fluffy mattress.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Hyungwon cocks his right eyebrow. Changkyun doesn't say anything and continues making his way towards Hyungwon.

"You know, you don't really associate with girls hyung. I mean, your the most virgin out of all of us." he pats his shoulder. Before Hyungwon could even let out a sound, Changkyun replied, "How do I know? I saw everything."

"How? That part of town is on the opposite side."

"Well, I could ask the same." Changkyun crossed his arms in question. Hyungwon heaves out a heavy sigh, unfolding his arms and sits on his bed, once occupied by Changkyun.

"She saw me in the alleyway and I offered a ride home." he lays down, propping his body up with his slender arms. Changkyun, alarmed started speed walking over to his hyung, "Wait, did she see?" he ominously spoke.

Hyungwon shook his head and was quite glad that his younger friend didn't start questioning him about what else happened. He'd much rather keep it between themselves. "So you offered her a ride? More like forced. She's quite feisty." Changkyun chuckled.

"You still didn't answer me, what were you doing there and how the hell did you make it back faster than I did?"

The younger male shrugs, "Let's just say I have magical powers." Hyungwon looks unimpressed, glaring back at him. Changkyun lets out a sigh and drops to the bed, copying the position Hyungwon has.

"I was making errands, how I got to your place faster than you is because I know shortcuts hyung." he rolls his eyes. Hyungwon punches him lightly, but Changkyun winces in sarcasm until he pops the big question.

"Hyung, do you take interest in her?"

Shocked, Hyungwon did not know how to respond. Just because he's talking to the opposite gender it is assumed he takes interest in her? Sure, Hyungwon found it quite intriguing considering he did kiss her even though it was not really needed, also that he gave her a ride home and knew information about her due to research.

But Hyungwon knew better, he can't just like someone from first sight. It's not a drama. Plus, he had yet to fully know her.

"Hwang Seojin."

"What?"

"Her name, it's Hwang Seojin."

Changkyun was bewildered, although he didn't know that Hyungwon had actually do a background check on her beforehand, of course, until in his peripheral vision he saw a bunch of manila folders on his desk, which he assumed were information regarding the said person.

Without hesitation, Changkyun made his way towards the desk and was satisfied that his deductions were correct. Hyungwon didn't bother to move, it would look more suspicious if he did and would rather wait for Changkyun to interrogate him instead.

"Why do you have her files?" he picks up a folder, scanning through the papers in amusement.

"Background checks."

Changkyun looks at him in confusion, why would Hyungwon need to do a background check?

"I saw her looking at us during our confrontation with Jungkook," Hyungwon spoke, finally getting off the bed and gravitating towards him.

"Well, what did you find out?" Changkyun continues flipping.

"She's associated with Jungkook."

Changkyun is filled with more confusion, "Like in the business?"

Hyungwon shook his head, "Apparently, she's his girlfriend."

Changkyun's face widens in shock, making Hyungwon quite uncomfortable with his mouth and eyes doubling in size. He disgustingly walks away, but the younger male was faster than him, grabbing his older friend's arm.

"Holy. That was quite unexpected."

Hyungwon turns around, "Really?" he eyed. Changkyun nodded back intensely, "I thought she was just someone Jungkook would probably toy around with. Who knew, he could have the heart to like someone."

"That was deep."

"Hey, you like reading, but so do I." Changkyun pats Hyungwon's shoulder and the latter swiftly nudges him off. Changkyun chuckles, whilst pointing his finger at Hyungwon for every beat. "Hyung, I'm quite curious about something."

"What?" Hyungwon turns around for the nth time.

"How did you feel finding out that information?"

Shell-shocked again, never in a million years would he have guessed that Changkyun would ask such questions. Quite sly and cunning the little shit is, no wonder why Shownu tells him to interrogate people. Kind of like reverse psychology, expect the unexpected.

"Are you not answering because you don't have an answer, or because you're shocked I would even ask you such a question or because you really did feel sudden emotions?" Changkyun asked as he sat laid back on one of the swivel chairs.

Hyungwon knocked on Changkyun's head, resulting in a large thump sound. "Hyung!" the younger one continues rubbing the top of his head.

"The door is to my right."

Changkyun got up and headed towards the door out of Hyungwon's room, "Thanks for the special exit gift. I appreciate that."

"No problem, now go home and get a good night sleep like the little baby you are." Hyungwon forcefully smiled.

They both made their way towards the main front door, with each bidding each other a see you later. After seeing his friend go into his car, Hyungwon closed the door made his way back to his room. Not before telling Taeyong to get off duty.

Peace and quiet.

That was all that filled the house, no more Changkyun's voice, or the sounds of the television playing simultaneously with the knife knocking along the cutting board because Taeyong didn't want to sleep earlier than Hyungwon.

It was nice and Hyungwon ought to keep it this way for as long as he can.
